The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics represents one of the greatest current threats to human health. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is one of the best-known examples of a so-called “superbug,” resistant to multiple different classes of antibiotic, and responsible for 20,000 deaths worldwide in 2017. In the face of ever-increasing bacterial resistance, the race is on to develop new antibiotics.
